With the weekend finally here, the exotic merchant Xur has returned with a new inventory of gear forDestiny 2players. Follow this guide for his current weekend location, news on his exotic cipher quest, as well as a review of all the exotic and legendary gear he’s brought for the weekend of July 07, 2025.
Where is Xur?
Xur has now taken up permanent residence in the Bazaar area inside The Tower, so there’s no more hunting when the weekend comes around.
Since the Bazaar is located between both fast travel points, players can pick either one to load into. Head into the area where Ikora and Hawthorne are hanging out and look for the Ramen Shop towards the back wall. While facing the shop, the alley hiding Xur is to the right.
Destiny 2 Class Armor and Exotic Cipher
Xur’s role continues to offer the usual weekly quests, exotics, and legendary gear. Not only are these quests required to purchase a second fated engram, but they’re necessary toacquire legacy exotic gear from the Tower kiosk. Players can earn a new cipher by completing strikes and winning crucible or gambit matches. Gain bonus points for playing with clan mates or finishing more challenging activities.
Aeon Soul - Warlock gauntlets
Exotic Perks:
The stats may be pretty good on this one, but the exotic item itself isn’t a mainstay that Warlock’s need to make sure they have at the ready. It’s a decent support item, but not a must buy.
Khepri’s Sting - Hunter gauntlets
Exotic Perk:
Normally a solid exotic, especially for PvP activities, the roll on this one is a little on the low side. Worth grabbing for those who don’t have it though.
Antaeus Wards - Titan leg armor
An interesting exotic that is really more reliant on specific instances of being able to reflect a projectile. There are better options out there.
Stat Values (67 total):
